    Here's a weird one for you. I have a 2010 Double, long bed, prerunner. I recently added skyjacker leaf springs myself. I noticed that the left side was lower than the right side. I thought I might have tightened the shock too tight, but after lifting it by the axle, I noticed that the actual axle is lower on the left than on the right. Super weird. Anyone have any ideas? I'm about to give up and take it in.

    It's either your eyes messing with you or there is a tire less inflated than the other. If the axle was bent enough to see, it would be leaking all over and there would be handling issues.

    what about getting the tires back on the ground and taking another pic?

    Do the newer tacos also suffer from "taco lean"?

    And why is this on the SAS folder:confused:

    The tires are off the ground....
    Something's def messed up

    My guess is one shock is installed wrong and is maybe missing a bushing
